Migori County Assembly has passed a Sh11.77 billion supplementary budget.

The health department got the lion's share after scooping Sh2.4 billion in the supplementary budget 2025/2026 that was endorsed by Member of County Assembly (MCAs).

Migori County has proposed to fund its budget to the tune of Sh11.77 billion to meet its recurrent (7.4 billion) and development (4.4 billion) budget programs.

Migori residents expressed their delight in the huge chunks allocated to the health sector as they anticipate improved health services.

"The move is good, and we now hope that health services will be improved within the county. We expect to find medicine and receive other essential services when we visit the health facilities," said David Oketch, a resident in Migori town.

This comes at a time when the health sector continues to face challenges of a lack of drugs in various facilities, and other essential services, among others.

The chairman of the budget and appropriation committee in the county assembly, Graham Kagali, said the budget they passed would ensure seamless operations in all departments.

“We had the quorum and deliberated on the supplementary budget before passing it,” Mr. Kagali said.

The supplementary budget was passed during a special sitting at the assembly’s plenary on December 23, 2025.

In the supplementary budget, the county assembly, Finance and Economic Planning received one billion and Sh817.5 million respectively.

The Environment department received Sh549 million while the Roads and Transport department got Sh1.29 billion.

Public service was allocated Sh1.29 billion, Trade Sh461.5 million, County executive Sh590.1 million, Education Sh731.7 million, Agriculture Sh451.3 million, and Water and energy Sh726 million.

Municipalities were not left behind after Rongo got Sh40.9 million, Awendo (Sh47.3 million), Migori(Sh82 million) and Kehancha(Sh41.6 million).
